During
our second day of water rehearsal, we moved the shipwreck scene, one of the
most involved with the water, into the water and began finalizing it. First, we
ran through the original blocking that was made without the pool. Then we resumed in the pool. Our sailors set off to sea, wondering
if they’d make it back from their voyage. Our trusted captain, Mr. Howard, set
the sails in the right direction. Our ship was skimming on top of the water,
making great pace. We learned how to properly row, after years of experience.
We had learned the way of the rower. Until we reached the serious seas, filling
with white capped waves and rough currents. It was our time to go down, and the
dreadful sinking of the ship began.
This involved a great deal of splashing, drowning, bailing,
and weeping. Being that this was
rehearsal, we repeated this scene, splashing and all, over and over again until
we carried out all of the nuances to satisfaction.
Safe diving,
